I am interested in finding a newer, faster M2 compiler for some applications
created under the Logitech PC compiler.
TopSpeed?, Stonybrook?, <other>?, is there a new Logitech?
I'd appreciate any information and experience that you can share with me.
Some specific questions I have in mind:
> Is there a supplied module functionally equivalent (or close to)
the Logitech FileSystem module?
> Is there any difficulty substituting you own Terminal and InOut, etc,
modules for those supplied?
> Are CoRoutines supported?
> Can the program gain control, at least in order to do some cleanup
and error message output, upon an exception such as HALT, index
out of range, etc.
> Are string literals nulldelimited by the compiler? Does TopSpeed
do this?
> Is object code Mic****ft format? Libraries supported? other tools?
> Is anything missing that I tend to take for granted as an expected
part of a M2 implementation, eg, definition version enforcement,
run time index and overflow checking, unlimited name sizes, etc?
Thanks.
